I go to pain management for steroid & local anesthetic injections in my spine & shoulders.
I do have confirmation in thoracic spine of DISH & have spurs in shoulders & bottom & back of feet. Other joints are painful including toes. I also have stenosis & bulging disc in lumbar spine .
I work full time in medical field. My duties at work have been amended some due to many issues including DISH amongst other issues but DISH is causing much pain.
Aqua therapy is good idea & doing exercises in water easier than in land.
I can’t take Motrin often & reserve for more severe pain & narcotics make me sick. Not much relief with skeletal muscle relaxants. I take 1000mg of Tylenol morning & night. I also take aspirin 325mg a day as part of my cardiac regimen.

Keep moving if you can. Light walking or time in pool, etc is good. You will notice that long time in chair you feel more achy. You said you do IT from home . Get up every 30 min & walk around the house, inside or out. I move frequently most of time . I find it better for me.

Best of luck. I was told by rheumatologist that Motrin or whatever other NSAID you like helps greatly. I Aldi get massages frequently. Helps too!
